Safety First
This document provides all the necessary information to allow your Whelen product to be properly and safely installed.
Before beginning the installation and/or operation of your new product, the installation technician and operator must
read this manual completely. Important information is contained herein that could prevent serious injury or damage.
• Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of automotive electronics,
systems and procedures.
• If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle components or other
vital parts could be damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling
begins. Also de-burr the holes and remove any metal shards or remnants. Install grommets into all wire passage
holes.
• If this manual states that this product may be mounted with suction cups, magnets, tape or Velcro™, clean the
mounting surface with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water and dry thoroughly.
• Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag. Equipment mounted or
located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, or become a
projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to your vehicle owners manual for the air bag
deployment area. The User/Installer assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based
on providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle.
• For this product to operate at optimum efficiency, a good electrical connection to chassis ground must be
made. The recommended procedure requires the product ground wire to be connected directly to the NEGATIVE
(-) battery post (this does not include products that use cigar power cords).
• If this product uses a remote device for activation or control, make sure that this device is located in an area
that allows both the vehicle and the device to be operated safely in any driving condition.
• Do not attempt to activate or control this device in a hazardous driving situation.
• This product contains either strobe light(s), halogen light(s), high-intensity LEDs or a combination of these
lights. Do not stare directly into these lights. Momentary blindness and/or eye damage could result.
• Use only soap and water to clean the outer lens. Use of other chemicals could result in premature lens cracking
(crazing) and discoloration. Lenses in this condition have significantly reduced effectiveness and should be
replaced immediately. Inspect and operate this product regularly to confirm its proper operation and mounting
condition. Do not use a pressure washer to clean this product.
• It is recommended that these instructions be stored in a safe place and referred to when performing
maintenance and/or reinstallation of this product.
• FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
THE PRODUCT OR VEHICLE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY TO YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS

Lo Intensity / Violet Wire: This feature allows the user
to step the unit down to low power operation for nighttime use.
Apply positive voltage to the VIOLET wire to put the lighthead into low power. Remove voltage
from the VIOLET wire to restore high power operation.
Scan-Lock™/ White-Violet Wire: Flash pattern selection.
To change flash patterns, first turn the lighthead on:
TO CYCLE THROUGH ALL PATTERNS: Apply +12 volts to the WHITE-VIOLET wire for
less than 1 second and release to cycle forward. Apply +12 volts to the WHITE-VIOLET
wire for more than 1 second and release to cycle backward.
TO SET A PATTERN AS DEFAULT: Allow the desired pattern to run for more than 5
seconds. The lighthead will now display this pattern when active.
TO RESET TO THE FACTORY DEFAULT PATTERN: Turn off power, apply +12 volts to
the WHITE-VIOLET wire, turn power on.
